RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Doc Text:
*rcu-nocbs* no longer missing from kernel boot parameters Previously, the *rcu_nocbs* kernel parameter was not set in the `realtime-virtual-host` and `realtime-virtual-guest` tuned profiles. With this update, *rcu-nocbs* is set as expected.

Description Andrew Theurer 2016-05-09 18:10:56 UTC 
Description of problem:

tuned realtime-virtual-{host|guest] have rcu_nocbs missing from boot/kernel parameters

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Activate either realtime-virtual-host or realtime-virtual-guest profiles
2. Reboot
3. cat /proc/cmdline

Actual results:
rcu_nocbs=$isolated_cores is missing

Expected results:
rcu_nocbs=$isolated_cores is included

Additional info:
/usr/lib/tuned/realtime/tuned.conf needs to be updated to include:

cmdline=isolcpus=${isolated_cores} nohz_full=${isolated_cores} rcu_nocbs=${isolated_cores} intel_pstate=disable nosoftlockup

*** Bug 1356717 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 7 Luiz Capitulino 2016-07-15 19:33:06 UTC 
As reported in bug 1356717, this issue is a blocker as you can't start VMs with the RT kernel starting with kernel-rt-3.10.0-439.rt56.327.el7.
Comment 9 Luiz Capitulino 2016-07-25 18:22:15 UTC 
We need this for 7.2.z too.
